Redemtion and Voting Conversation Guide

In the United States, the concept of redemption, as it applies to voting rights, can be a distant dream for those who have been incarcerated for offenses small or large.

For example, in Florida 1.6 million former felons are permanently disenfranchised. In this guide, we’ll explore our beliefs about redemption and who should or should not have the right to vote.
